Good Morning

Today's card was a fun one to create with this new stencil from A Colorful Life Designs called

MID CENTURY CHAIRS

This stencil includes 2 unique looking chairs but for today, I just used one of them.

I paired it up with 2 older released stencils to create my card.

 Dots In and Out and Tiki Room

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I began by creating the chair first. I placed one of the Mid Century Chairs onto a piece of white cardstock and inked it up with some Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink.
• Leaving the stencil in place, I put the Tiki Room stencil over the chair and inked with some Uncharted Mariner DOX ink. It gave the chair such a fun pattern and look. I removed the stencils, fussy cut it out and set aside while I worked on the background.
• I took another piece of white cardstock and placed the Dots In and Out stencil over the paper and inked with more of the Peacock Feathers DOX ink.
• Next, I took my stenciled card base and cut the sentiment shadow from it along the top edge I die cut the sentiment from some black cardstock and glued it onto the shadow die cut.
• I glued the stenciled card front onto a white A2 sized card base. When I placed the chair over the background it didn't show up well so I embossed a piece of white cardstock, cut it on the diagonal and glued that over the background before adding the chair with some foam tape.
• I added the sentiment back into place near the top of my card and then I added 2 black gems on either side of the die cut to finish off my card.
